"Brother Xue You is planning to bring the entire Special Lifeform Team under his command!"
Stepping outside the palace, Purple Rain Venerable pondered silently.
He was certainly not stupid to have reached his current position. Gathering materials was a relatively easy task, but the treatment given by the Demon Master Xue You far exceeded the standard.
There's no such thing as a free lunch; there must be an ulterior motive behind doing this.
However, he had no objection to it.
Although he was the founder of the Special Lifeform Team, in order for the Special Lifeform Team to take root and establish itself in the Ancestral God Religion, in addition to the protection of the Ancestral God Religion itself, it also needed a powerful Universe Master as its backer.
The Demon Master Xue You, with whom he had an excellent relationship and was also very powerful, was undoubtedly the best choice.
Moreover, considering the breakthroughs of the Bug Chasing King and the Mirror King.
Purple Rain Venerable suspected that the Demon Master Xue You might possess a terrifying resource that could increase the probability of Invincible King expert breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm.
There are quite a few Special Lifeform forms stuck at this stage. If they were to truly join the Demon Master Xue You's ranks and receive similar resources in the future, then those Special Lifeform forms who have been stuck at the King Rank stage for countless years would have the hope of becoming Universe Venerable.
"The benefits are so good, I'm tempted!"
Purple Rain Venerable glanced at the contribution rankings.
Flora's contribution is far ahead; if her contribution were increased tenfold, it would be close to 0.5 Supreme Treasure Point.
Flora, on the other hand, was merely a King Rank.
There are fewer other Special Lifeform, but if you complete the mission, you can exchange almost every one for one or two True Treasure.
As the one who spearheaded this matter, he was merely working for free and didn't calculate his own contribution; he didn't care about that anyway.
"Um?"
Seemingly having received some message, Purple Rain Venerable stopped in his tracks.
"Has Venerable Tianhua gone to the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region again?"
This news made him think deeply.
"Having died twice in a row, Venerable Tianhua is probably already heavily in debt. If we kill him again—it will surely cause him unbearable pain!"
Purple Rain Venerable considered the feasibility of this matter.
" Venerable Tianhua has died twice, so he must not possess any Supreme Treasure. If I use my Innate Secret Technique, I should have a chance to kill him instantly. Even if I can't kill him instantly, I can easily suppress him using a sealing treasure! If that happens, I can avenge my brother with my own hands."
"Although the materials Xue You already possesses include some creatures from the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region, the quantity is still extremely small. The Myriad Spirit Mystic Region has a vast array of creatures; if we were to go there, we could collect even more—"
"First, gather materials, assess the situation, and make sure everything is alright before taking action—even if we encounter the Lord of Sky Wolf, I can escape using the Palace Supreme Treasure, the White Needle. In the worst-case scenario, I can call upon the Bauhinia Island Master for support. There shouldn't be any problems."
Purple Rain Venerable had been keeping an eye on Venerable Tianhua's news, and after a brief moment of thought, he made his own decision.
Go to the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region to collect materials, and if you have the chance, kill Venerable Tianhua again.
Outside the Xue You Palace, Mirror Venerable lay prostrate at the doorway, like a loyal old servant.
Inside the palace, Lu Qingshan's Xue You Clone sat cross-legged.
He had acquired a lot of biological materials this time, and he needed to digest them properly for a while. He took out a thick book with a gold cover.
This is Life Gene Map he created based on the methods recorded in " Life Analysis ".
Over the years, the map has grown increasingly thick, and now it is tens of meters high.
He turned the first page of the Life Gene Map.
Above is a blood-red vine.
The second page features a small green flower.
Page 3.
Page 4.
The Life Gene Map flipped through the pages rapidly. Initially, it recorded the life genes of plants. Around page 10,000, it turned into a gene map of non-intelligent life forms, such as the large group of non-intelligent life forms of the Prison Race. Then came the gene maps of some life forms with simple intelligence.
Of course, this is not the order in which he studied it, but rather the result of the changes made to the Life Gene Map itself.
For example, he now picks up a blue plant life covered in thorns.
Under the observation of the Pupil of Life, this blue thorn life was imprinted on the last page of the diagram. However, soon after, the thorn life's position on the diagram changed, moving to a position at the front.
The genome map is arranged according to its complexity and simplicity. Regardless of Lu Qingshan's research order, it will eventually be placed in its proper position based on the complexity of the genome.
There was too much biological material collected this time, so Lu Qingshan planned to process some of it first.
As the stars and rivers turn, the years pass by.
As Lu Qingshan's Xue You Clone continued its research, the number of pages in the atlas increased rapidly!
Page 99,998.
Page 99,999.
100,000 pages.
When Lu Qingshan's Life Gene Map exceeded 100,000 pages, Lu Qingshan suddenly realized that he could understand the essence of life genes 2,000 times larger.
In other words, he can now use the original " Life Diagram Compendium " to optimize all genes up to 2000 times to their most perfect state, referring to the standard answer.
"If 100,000 pages is 2,000 times, then how many pages would 3,000 times be?"
Lu Qingshan let out a sigh of relief.
Studying the essence of life's genes is too complex—too tedious—even a simple, casual study can easily take hundreds of days.
Year.
Now that he has become the Universe Master, the Time House has lost its purpose for him.
"It seems that Xue You Clone's clone will also need to set up a Time Temple."
The Time House is a treasure used only by those below the Universe Master, and its price is not very high. The one used by Lu Qingshan's Xue You Clone is of the highest quality, but it is only worth about 10 Supreme Treasure Point. After becoming the Guardian Lord Sect, Lu Qingshan also has a quota of 100 Supreme Treasure Point from the Ancestral God Religion Sect in addition to the rewards. He directly bought this Time House.
As for the recipient of the reward, there is only one: the newly Universe Overlord, Bug Chasing Venerable.
" Bug Chasing has only recently broken through a few hundred years; he should be in seclusion right now."
Just as Lu Qingshan was pondering, a notification message suddenly arrived.
[Your disciple Bug Chasing Venerable, has broken through to the Fifth Layer the Earth-Space Beast God Path. You have received a thousandfold return, and your understanding of the Earth-Space Fusion Law has greatly improved.]
After the prompt.
Countless experiences regarding the Earth-Space Fusion Law, like rivers flowing into the sea, were imprinted on his consciousness.
Lu Qingshan already possessed the Beast God Heart, so digesting these experiences was a piece of cake. In just half a year, he had completely absorbed this cashback information.
After digesting it, he had never cultivated before, and relied solely on the fragmentary Earth-Space Fusion Law Venerable Zhen Yan had experienced during his enlightenment, directly advancing to the Third Layer perfect state in one go.
He was just one step away from breaking through to the Fourth Layer.
As for him, who possesses the Beast God Heart, if he were to concentrate on comprehending it, he could probably reach the Fourth Layer the Earth-Space Fusion Law in just a few eras.
However, Lu Qingshan didn't have such thoughts for the time being. Letting him slowly comprehend it would be tantamount to nothing. It would be better to let his disciples make progress and receive the results directly. He still needed to spend most of his time studying the Life Gene Map.
" Bug Chasing, come to me!"
Lu Qingshan sent a message directly to Bug Chasing Venerable.
The Bug Chasing Venerable has just broken through—now is the perfect time to bestow the Time House upon him.
One year later.
[You have granted your disciple, the Bug Chasing Venerable, the Time House, and received a thousandfold return; you have also obtained the Time Temple.]
The distant Myriad Spirit Mystic Region, the Myriad Spirit Mountain Range.
A massive white figure darted swiftly through the void; it was none other than Venerable Tianhua had died twice in succession.
"Damn it, damn it! I'm being used as bait again."
Venerable Tianhua was in a very bad mood.
He was living a peaceful and quiet life teaching in the Sky Wolf Race, but unexpectedly, he was sent out by his teacher Lord of Sky Wolf, to act as bait. Although his teacher promised that the danger was not great this time and that he would avenge him and return the treasure if he retrieved it, he was still very unhappy because his teacher had said the same thing last time.
As a result, he couldn't even move and was instantly annihilated by a golden ball of light.
That death and resurrection incurred debts that his teacher failed to cover, leaving him not only penniless but also owing his tribe an astonishing 70.3 Supreme Treasure Point.
If he were to die again, that number would exceed three digits.
Whether it's 70 points or a three-digit number, it's an astronomical figure for him. If he doesn't encounter another opportunity like the Void Spirit Marrow, he might never be able to repay it in this lifetime.
This time, he cooperated because he was hoping for a lucky break.
"The teacher said we're well-prepared this time, so there shouldn't be any major problems, right?"
The enormous body of Venerable Tianhua landed on a mountaintop, where a fruit tree was emitting a five-colored light.
The succubus had already been killed by the others, and now eight Universe Venerable were waiting nearby.
However, upon seeing the sudden arrival of Venerable Tianhua, the expressions of these Universe Venerable all changed drastically.
"Get lost!!"
Venerable Tianhua roared, his immense aura pressing down on the group.
The eight Universe Venerable all had grim expressions. They had painstakingly killed the succubus guarding the Myriad Spirit Fruit and waited for so long, but they never expected that Venerable Tianhua would dismiss them all with just a single sentence.
However, despite their resentment, no one dared to resist, and they could only fly off in all directions.
Only close friends exchange angry shouts and curses.
"That damned Venerable Tianhua, he's already died twice, and he's still so arrogant. I bet he'll die again sooner or later."
"Hmph, we are Universe Venerable from the Demon Race's affiliated alliance. This guy really doesn't give us any face at all; he deserves to die."
"That's just how the Sky Wolf Race is. They're the Demon Race Royal Family, so naturally they're arrogant. Those damned bastards!"
However, just as they were sending out curses and angry messages...
The sky above changed colors.
The originally gray void suddenly turned purple—a vast purple mist completely covered the surrounding tens of millions of kilometers.
What is that?
"Not good!"
The Universe Venerable, who had been fleeing, immediately increased his speed.
Everyone watched this scene in horror.
The sky changed again, and the purple mist expanded once more, completely obscuring the entire Myriad Spirit Mountain Range.
The terrifying pressure concentrated on one point: the mountain where Venerable Tianhua was located.
"Laugh!"
Countless deep purple raindrops appeared in the mist, and in a few moments they turned into a violent downpour!
Each drop of rain contained terrifying energy. Like a waterfall, it fell on the mountaintop where Venerable Tianhua was, leaving him with no way to dodge.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
A Supreme Treasure Armor appeared on Venerable Tianhua's body, blocking the raindrops falling from the sky.
Although his divine body was being eroded in immense pain and was constantly weakening, a hint of surprise flashed in Venerable Tianhua's eyes.
Compared to facing Venerable Xue You and the Lord of Myriad Laws who killed him with a golden orb without ever meeting him, he most wanted to encounter this Purple Rain Venerable.
This time, he did not hesitate at all. Relying on the Supreme Treasure his teacher lent him and his enormous divine body, he withstood the terrifying Purple Rain, and then immediately crushed the token given to him by the Lord of Sky Wolf.
With a sharp, clear sound, a crack tore open in the void.
The crack wasn't large, only about ten thousand feet wide, but the moment it appeared, the entire Myriad Spirit Mountain Range fell into a deathly silence.
The fleeing Universe Venerable, the hidden creatures observing from the shadows, and even the Endless purple raindrops of the Purple Rain Venerable all came to a complete standstill.
A foot stepped out from the crack.
It was a huge beast claw, covered with silver-gray scales, each scale flowing with patterns of laws.
Next is the body.
It descended from the void, its feet treading on clusters of dark flames. Its jet-black fur hung down like a galaxy, and its eyes were a deep gold, its pupils filled with murderous intent.
"Teacher----"
Although Venerable Tianhua suffered considerable damage to his divine body, he lay on the mountaintop, yet a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This fishing trip was finally a success!
If he could retrieve the White Needle, High-grade Palace Supreme Treasure, all the sacrifices would be worthwhile.
The Lord of Sky Wolf did not look at him.
Those golden eyes swept lightly across the void, finally settling on the depths of a certain purple mist.
" Purple Rain Venerable."
Its sound wasn't loud, yet it seemed to resonate directly in the depths of one's soul.
"You've got some nerve."
